Corfu remains a firm holiday favourite. It is a wonderfully green island where stretches of white sand beaches meet the blue Ionian Sea. The island has a dazzling history. Corfu Town stands between two forts and many of the old houses charm the eye with their pastel colours. The town is a treat for those interested in Byzantine and Venetian architecture.

The East coast is well developed for tourism (some would say over-developed). The West coast is quieter. However, each side as something to offer and those looking for a more lively holiday destination might consider the East coast.

There is an 18 hole golf course at Ermones (west of Corfu town) and a water park, Aqualand, west of Aghios Ioannis.

The Ionian Islands are great for sailing and Corfu is no exception. You can also travel to the neighbouring islets of Mathraki, Erikusa and Othonoi by boat from Sidari.
